Gas Turbine Power Uprate
Depending on your gas turbine, it is possible to increase power by as much as 20% and heat rate by 5%.
Increasing the horsepower of a Solar gas turbine at the time of overhaul is a cost-efficient way to make the customer business more productive. This solution provides product enhancements that are integral to the overhaul required to produce the additional power output, improve emissions levels, safety, operability, reliability and durability.
Using Solar’s SoLoNOx™ technology customers are able to maintain a cleaner environment to reduce omissions. Through review and analysis, the engineering solution determines the optimal operating levels and ensures that no hidden risks are associated with an increase in output of the existing drive train.
Attributes/Benefits:
- Increase power output (generator sets)
- Increase flow (compressor sets)
- Increase efficiency
- Improve durability
- Improve/modernize safety features
- Improve reliability
- Minimize lead time (through the exchange program)
- Maximize production
- Minimize regulatory impacts
